Three different combinations of particle size pairs of both equal and unequal mass ratios were used using a constant liquid (water) superficial velocity of 0.17 ms-1 in all the cases. Numerically, a two dimensional Eulerian-Eulerian (E-E) CFD model incorporating kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) was developed to predict the bed expansion behaviour. It was observed that complete bed segregation occurred when the difference between the solid particle diameters was higher while lower difference in particle diameters led to partial bed segregation. The CFD model also predicted these behaviours which were in good agreement with the experimental data.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:07 AEDT ]]>
